(D'ont get) fooled again.

Previous day wet and windy.
Nice bright sunny day.
Surely worth a trip to the barleyfield for migrant birds.
Not a bit of it 7 singing chiffchaff was as good as it got-all in the same places as weekend with the extra one in the north-east corner.
There were however 2 pairs of jays and 2 grey wagtail on the spillweir although they both seemed female one brighter than the other with no trace of black throat or white eyeline which even on a last years bird would surely be apparent by now if male??. There was however a pair yesterday at Oxley.
Plenty of song with the most prominent species this morning being dunnock. This does seem to change day by day and probably in relation to time and conditions.  On last visit it was Robins and the one before Wrens.
Till the next day of unfulfilled expectations adieu.
